El Centenario (original)El Centenario (translation)
Si eres pobre te humilla la gente If you are poor people humiliate you
Si eres rico te tratan muy bien If you are rich they treat you very well
Un amigo se metió a la mafia A friend joined the mafia
Porque pobre ya no quiso ser Because he no longer wanted to be poor
Ahora tiene dinero de sobra Now he has money to spare
Por costales le pagan al mes For sacks they pay him per month
Todos le dicen el centenario Everyone tells him the centenary
Por la joya que brilla en su pecho For the jewel that shines on her chest
Ahora todos lo ven diferente Now everyone sees it differently
Se acabaron todos sus desprecios All your contempt is over
Nomás porque trae carro del año Just because it brings car of the year
Ya lo ven con el signo de peso They already see it with the peso sign
Lo persigue el gobierno gabacho The gabacho government persecutes him
Pero el no deja de trabajar But he doesn't stop working
A los ángeles va cada rato He goes to Los Angeles every so often
Y regresa con un dineral And he comes back with a fortune
El recibe órdenes desde arriba He takes orders from above
Y las cumple a como dé lugar And he fulfills them at any cost
Al peligro ya se acostumbro He's used to danger
Y por eso no le teme a nadie And that's why he's not afraid of anyone
En su Lincoln se pasea tranquilo In his Lincoln he walks calmly
Por Tijuana y por Guadalajara Through Tijuana and Guadalajara
Por los Angeles y San Fransisco Through Los Angeles and San Fransisco
Y también por las Vegas Nevada And also for Las Vegas Nevada
Con la mafia se gana dinero With the mafia you make money
Pero se necesita valor But it takes courage
Porque aquí no hay ningún parentesco Because here there is no kinship
Y no se admite algún error And no mistake is allowed
Siempre te andas rifando el pellejo You're always raffling off your skin
Con las leyes o con el patrónWith the laws or with the boss
